Allergens

Milk, Egg (in puff pastry), Soy (potential in coulis thickener)

Ingredients

  • 1 pack gluten
  • free puff pastry sheets
  • 200g dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa)
  • 300ml heavy cream
  • 300g fresh raspberries
  • 50g granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Roll out the gluten free puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface, about 1/8 inch thick, and cut into equal rectangles. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, prick each with a fork, and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler, stirring occasionally. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
  4. In a saucepan, combine 200g of raspberries, sugar, and half of the cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and becomes a coulis. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.
  5. To assemble, place one layer of cooled puff pastry on a serving plate, top with a generous dollop of chocolate mousse, and repeat the layers until all ingredients are used. Drizzle raspberry coulis over the top layer and garnish with remaining fresh raspberries.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Chef’s Insight

Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer flavor and better mouthfeel in the mousse.

Notes
